application of group editing techniques in other parallel and distributed systems.

"CSCW and groupware researchers often use group editing as a model and research vehicle of a wide range of collaborative applications since the early days of CSCW. Most of the research issues explored in group editors are also present in other collaborative systems." There have been workshops in these issues at GROUP'99, CSCW'00, GROUP'01, CSCW'02, and ECSCW'03. - [1]
